Antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of Ag--(+) and Cu2+ -doped biphasic hydroxyapatite/alpha-tricalcium phosphate obtained from hydrothermally synthesized Ag+- and Cu2+ -doped hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders doped with Ag+ or Cu2+ were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in order to obtain biomaterial with an antimicrobial effect. The synthesis was performed with two contents of dopant (Ag+ or ...
Visible light-harvesting of TiO2 nanotubes array by pulsed laser deposited CdS
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes arrays, obtained by anodization technique and annealing, were decorated with CdS using pulsed laser deposition method. Their structural, morphological and chemical characterization was ...
Immobilization of lipase on epoxy-activated Purolite((R)) A109 and its post-immobilization stabilization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this study, Purolite (R) A109, polystyrenic macroporous resin, was used as immobilization support due to its good mechanical properties and high particle diameter (400 mu m), which enables efficient application in enzyme ...
The dependence of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites on the modification of the carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Nanostructural TiO2/modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes photocatalysts were prepared by hydrolysis of Ti(iso-OC3H7)(4) providing chemical bonding of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles onto oxidized- or amino-functionalized ...
Antifungal activity of Ag:hydroxyapatite thin films synthesized by pulsed laser deposition on Ti and Ti modified by TiO2 nanotubes substrates
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2014)
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely used biomaterial for implant thin films, largely recognized for its excellent capability to chemically bond to hard tissue inducing the osteogenesis without immune response from human tissues. ...
Conventional and spark-plasma sintering of cordierite powders synthesized by sol-gel methods
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Cordierite powders synthesized by colloidal and alkoxide sol-gel methods were conventionally and spark-plasma sintered. The powders for the sintering investigations were obtained by calcination of the gels at a temperature ...
Alginate hydrogel microbeads incorporated with Ag nanoparticles obtained by electrochemical method
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
An innovative method was developed for production of alginate hydrogel microbeads incorporated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) based on electrochemical synthesis followed by electrostatic extrusion. AgNPs were synthesized ...
Chitosan-based microparticles for immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles and their application for photodegradation of textile dyes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The present paper deals with removal and photocatalytic degradation of the textile dyes by TiO2 nanoparticles immobilized onto chitosan-based microparticles. The microparticles composed of chitosan (Ch) and poly(methacrylic ...
Total quality index of Agaricus bisporus mushrooms packed in modified atmosphere
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
BACKGROUNDThe aim of this study was to develop a total quality index and examine the effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the quality of Agaricus bisporus mushrooms stored for 22 days at 4 degrees C. Mushrooms ...
Structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4 alloy
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
A dark gray nanostructured coating of an alloy composed of 87.3 wt.% Ni, 11.3 wt.% Fe and 1.4 wt.% W (Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4) was electrodeposited from an ammonia citrate bath on a titanium cathode at a current density of 500 ...
